What is a 1099 tax form?
A 1099-NEC form summarizes Dashers' earnings as independent contractors in the US. It’s provided to you and the IRS, as well as some US states, if you earn $600 or more in 2024. If you're a Dasher, you may need this form to file your taxes.
A 1099-K form summarizes your sales activity as a Merchant. It’s provided to you and the IRS, as well as some US states, if you had $5,000 USD in total gross volume in 2024. If you’re a Merchant, you may need this form to file your taxes.
What is Stripe Express, and how do I access it?
Stripe Express allows you to update your tax information, download your tax forms, and track your earnings. If you're a Dasher and earned $600 or more in the calendar year through DoorDash in the US, Stripe will send an email (titled: “Get your DoorDash 2024 tax forms faster by enabling e-delivery”) inviting you to create claim your Stripe Express account and log in to Stripe Express.
If you’re a Merchant that previously opted into paperless delivery via Stripe Express you’ll receive an E-delivery email when your 1099 tax form has been filed by DoorDash. You should expect to be sent an E-delivery notification for your 1099-K if you meet the following criteria in the calendar year:
- You have had $5,000 USD in total gross volume in 2024.
- You own a limited number of restaurants.
- You are based in the US or are a US taxpayer.
- You already have access to Stripe Express and have opted into paperless delivery in prior years.
If you are unable to find that email, head to our Support Site where you can request a new link to be sent to your email.
If you still are not able to locate your invite email, please reach out to DoorDash support for help updating your email address.
I no longer have access to the phone number I signed up with. How do I login to my Stripe Express account?
If you’ve lost or updated your phone number, you can select the “I no longer have access to this phone number” option to authenticate via email and change your phone number.
I earned enough to need a 1099 tax form in 2024. Why haven’t I received an email from Stripe?
If you're a Dasher and you've earned enough to need a 1099 tax form in 2024, you should have receive an email from Stripe by mid January 2025. Emails will be sent out in phases to Dashers starting in October 2024.

Here are a few important dates to keep in mind:

How do I update my tax information?
Open the email from Stripe and click on the “Get started” button, which will prompt you to set up a Stripe Express account. After you've claimed your account, you’ll be able to review your tax information (e.g., name, address, and SSN or EIN) and make any necessary changes via Stripe Express. Please update your information no later than mid January 2025.
Please note: If you don’t agree to paperless delivery by mid January 2025, we’ll automatically mail your 1099 tax form to the address on file, so it’s critical that your information is current, correct, and complete.
You may find that your 1099 tax form reports your SSN and you want to use your EIN (or vice-versa). If that’s the case, you’ll want to reach out to DoorDash to update your legal entity information.

How do I get a corrected 1099 tax form?
If you feel you need corrections made to a 1099 tax form that has already been ‘Filed’, use the edit option in the Tax Forms page of Stripe Express. Information you edit will not appear in the 1099 tax form in the Stripe Express dashboard but it is shared with DoorDash. You should reach out to DoorDash after you’ve made the edits you want and they can assist you with a correction. Once DoorDash ‘Files’ your correction, you will be notified via email and you will see a new 1099 tax form appear in the Stripe Express dashboard.
Please note that it can take up to 72 hours after the platform files the correction for you to be notified.

How do I get my DoorDash mileage report?

How do I get in touch with Stripe for more help?
